I scored this today, apparently "B" is for BIG lol. Made in Syracuse, NY, we had to disassemble to lift it. 3 phase Master Electric motor, don't know the HP the motor plate is missing but it starts on my 5hp RPC. With 5 new belts $300.

I had the same experience with the 1 x 42 Kalamazoo.I read all the user reviews, mostly ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎.What a piece of junk!
